15 Things Every Archbishop Molloy Alumn Will Understand

Graduating from Archbishop Molloy High School in Briarwood, Queens is simultaneously the sweetest and hardest goodbye to its' many alumnae. Without even realizing it, we were carried into the threshold of adulthood through hall ways inspired by St. Anne's Academy and Saint Marcellin Champagnat. A huge portion of AMHS touched each of our lives, but the silly little every day aspects can mean so much more, maybe these 15 ring a bell.

1. No Matter What Anyone Says, You Are A Stanner.

Calling all St. Anners! It's no secret that during Molloy days we thought our name was lame, but we all know we stood by it, and our Stanner Manner, proudly.

2. Doc's Cave.

Dougherty's room was the homeroom hub, cramped but cozy.

3. Trivia Fridays

We all remember what a trip to room 123 usually meant, detention. ( And it's Friday, ugh.) Have no fear though, answer one trivia question right and earn your ticket to freedom. (Thanks Shannon!)

4. "Sweating is Sexy!" - R.R.

Who else but the Rodge Man?

5. The Glass Booth. Enough Said.

The allotted destination to make phone calls? Yes; but more commonly known as the kick it spot for seniors during free periods.

6. You'll Remember Your ID Number Like The Back Of Your Hand.

12-314, how about you?

7. The Best Thing About Junior Year Was Getting A Top Locker.

With college preparation beginning to veer its head, SATs, ACTs, and taking physics and trigonometry in the same year; it felt really good to no longer have to squat to get your books.

8. "Even or Odd?"

It was a great feeling when one of your classmates asked where you were going, you responded "even side" ( or "odd side") & they knew exactly what you were talking about.

9. Senior Polos

Hands down the best perk of being a senior.


10. Spot a TA?

Unroll your skirt, throw out your gum, un-break your locker, and put on your lanyard. FAST.

11. Locker Checks Were Every Upperclassmen's Worse Nightmare.

The pink slip of paper that fell out of your broken locker meant business.

12. The Freshman Backpack Epidemic Was Real.

At one point or another during our first year at Molloy, each of us rocked the freshman backpack. And each year after, we swear they got bigger and bigger with every new class.

13. Spirit Week Was The Biggest Deal.

14. Stay Stanner, Stanner High.

Thank you Liam Moyles for your lovely trademark sign off during morning announcements.

15. Dear Esopus: At first I was a part of you, then you became a part of me.

Whether your first experience was at freshman camp, a retreat, the special camps, or your senior encounter; this beautiful place is special to many and a home to, too many more.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
